constructin and design of timber-glass-compound elements

Forschungsförderungsprojekt
Glass surfaces are used in almost every building. Besides, this material becomes more and more important in modern architecture. This process is even intensified by the current technical and economical progress. By means of wooden frames, glass elements and supporting structures can be connected efficiently. Developments in fields of adhesives allow new possibilities for construction engineering, concerning the connection of these materials and their new areas of application. Due to its outstanding material properties, the transparent and in terms of building physics very advantageous glass can also be used as a supporting material. That is why timber-glass-composite elements can be used as plates, panes or beams, which in history has often been shown impressively in product development and research projects. To cope with the technical development and to be able to bring these new developments to market, a possibility of theoretical (analytical) calculation, with the objective of describing the load bearing behaviour of supporting elements, is required. According to currently valid standards and for secure use, dimensioning concepts, which define and assure criterias of security, have to be developed. The present research project aims at developing dimensioning concepts, which enable the calculation and the secure use of composite systems such as plates, planes and beams, in order to bring these promising technologies on the market.
